Browns’ Manziel to start vs 49ers

Last week with Davis at the helm, the Browns absorbed a 37-3 beating by the Bengals. So that’s what we look forward to going out and doing.

The Browns may feel forced to go back to Manziel, who has spent the last two games on the bench. As the game turned into a blowout, he got in for 15 plays on defense…. Like to get a chance to sit down with the guys individually and as a group. He completed 25 of 38 passes for 230 yards with an interception and finished with a rating of 71.2. Green joined Randy Moss as the only receivers to have 1,000 yards in each of their first five seasons.

Do you remember that Coca-Cola Christmas season commercial with the song, “I’d like to teach the world to sing in flawless harmony?”

And once the final whistle blows on January 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they might all be out of time.

“For people to question the want-to and the passion to get it fixed, we’re upset with it”, Pettine said. Hill showed the desire he displayed in 2014 and was even successful at the “Dawg Pound Leap” this time around.

ESPN’s Tony Grossi said he is “hearing the [Cleveland] Browns will give [the] next four games to quarterback Johnny Manziel“, according to a report by Bleacher Report’s Scott Polacek.

And the chatter around the team isn’t good, with the team’s head coach, Mike Pettine, receiving significantly less than total support from the team’s owner, Jimmy Haslam, in the wake of the team’s latest debacle. I’m more likely to do that behind the scenes when it calls for it. But we know what it’s supposed to look like and it’s frustrating for a variety of reasons why we can’t get it there.

Despite an National Football League investigation and his admitted drinking after spending 10 weeks in a rehabilitation facility during the offseason, the Browns kept Manziel active for recent games, and started him in two of those contests. He has also fumbled five times in six appearances, losing three of them and been sacked 14 times. But let’s keep it 100, Manziel would have been starting if he was Pettine’s pick.

Following a promise to the coaches that he would not to embarrass or be a distraction over the bye week to the organization that stood by him through other off-the-field issues, Manziel’s weekend partying was documented in a profanity-laced video that surfaced two weeks ago.

Austin Davis started against the Bengals after Josh McCown suffered a broken collarbone in the previous game. These last four games are the most pivotal games for the Browns in recent memory and, depending on how JFF plays, could potentially alter the future of the very franchise.

Brace yourselves, America – Johnny Football is back.

“After 10 years it’s the most I’ve ever had, and we still have games to go so I’m excited about that”, said Peko, whose previous career high was three in 2013.

Picking apart a Cleveland secondary decimated by injuries, Dalton threw a 23-yard TD pass to A.J. Green in the first half and connected on a 21-yarder to Marvin Jones in the third quarter as the Bengals completed a season sweep over the Browns (2-10), who have lost seven straight and are on a path toward another winter of major upheaval. Pettine said he’d wait before deciding who will play against the 49ers.
